CASE Study Challenge 161

Hi there! Sorry I'm late! I've been busy with work and preparing for a party this weekend as well. But I'm here now! There was no way I was missing any week this month since our October muse is a favorite of mine! Here's Elena's inspiration for this week's CASE Study Challenge 161.

I was so happy when I saw this inspiration photo because I knew I had a coordinating stamp set for it! So I pulled out my WMS You're a Doll set and started working. This is actually Hero Arts Soft Cantaloupe I used on the doll. But with all the gloominess of the day my photo didn't come out so well. I know daylight is the best lighting for photographs but is there another way? Something that won't blow my budget? If there is, please let me know! :)

My favorite background stamps to use with this set is Folk Art Medallion. I just love the detail they bring to each other. After stamping my images and sentiment, I adhered it over a piece of brown, striped patterned paper. Then I attached it onto a kraft card base. My favorite, which I'm sure you've noticed by now. :)

And that's it for me! I hope you enjoyed that! I'll see you again soon! My wonderful friend Nina Yang has kindly invited me to try out her new stamp set Simply Tags: Christmas from Avery Elle, with it's coordinating dies. I'll finally have some time to play! Please come back to see it! :) Thanks for stopping by today!

Fabulous Jean!! Can't wait to play with my doll stamp too!! I know about work kicking your butt-hoping the inspiration will come this WE....lately it's just making a card to do it versus any creativity!!

Your card is beautiful! I would never have thought to combine these two stamps, but am on my way to my craft room to CASE very soon. Love your color choices too, again a combo I would not have thought to use. Soft and vibrant at the same time.
